Newbie dropping in to say hi

[Aleisha173]

Hi all, I’m a 35yo female with anxiety, depression, borderline personality disorder, currently homeless and just had a 20 year DV relationship end. Fun stuff hey. I guess I’m just hoping to connect with people who can relate....that sounds a bit weird but I think it makes sense? I’ve been in and out of hospital 4 times so far this year alone for suicide attempts and just want to meet some people who understand what mental illness is really like. Maybe connect with some of you, who knows. This is my first post so I don’t really know how all this works

Hello Aleisha, and a warm welcome.

A face to face conversation can build trust, bondage, empathy and security, but a site like this can also do exactly the same, being able to relate to those who have been struggling through very similar circumstances.

Other people may be worse off but it's yourself that needs the attention after what you have had to try and cope with.

Every situation is different, although each one may overlap another person's situation, however, I'm not qualified to say.

As soon as you post a comment you are then able to connect with so many other people straight away who can form a connection to you.

Everything you have said would have been devastating and want to offer as much help as possible.

Best wishes.

Geoff.
